My husband and me are planning to do natural family planning after I give birth.

Im on an IUD for my birth control. (Never been on one before. I've been on it for about 10 months or so.) The past two months, i've had crazy spotting, and deep cramping and nausea. But no full-blown period, and I always have periods. So I just wanted advice of if that seems normal or if there could be something wrong.

Me and my partner just had unprotected sex and he didn’t pull out and he didn’t tell me he was at his climax this is not what I wanted and I wasn’t particularly happy with him about it.
